| Temperament |
The Affenpinscher has a personality that some
associate with terriers. They're different from terriers, however, in that
they often get along with other dogs and pets. They are active, adventurous,
curious, and stubborn, but they are also fun-loving and playful. The breed
is confident, lively, affectionate towards family members and also very
defensive of them. This friendly little dog enjoys being with its family.
It needs consistent, firm training because some can be quite difficult to
housebreak. The training should be varied because the dog can easily become
bored. This breed learns quickly but its stubbornness might make it difficult
to train.
Affenpinschers are somewhat territorial when it comes
to their toys and food, so they are not recommended for very small children.
This dog is mostly quiet but can become very excited if attacked or threatened
and shows no fear toward any aggressor. It is best suited for a family
who likes a show and has a sense of humor.
